POLITICS: LUPE FIASCO ARGUES OBAMA’S TERRORISM ON O’REILLY SHOW

June 21st, 2011

With the recent annihilation of Al-Quida leader Osama Bin Laden, many Americans have felt a bit of relief, while others still believe there is more work to be done in the fight against terrorism. Rapper Lupe Fiasco on the other hand doesn’t feel either. The Chicago-native recording artist stopped by Fox News’ The Bill O’Reilly Factor to explain his recent statement on President Obama and America being the real terrorists. From his point of view, Fiasco doesn’t have a problem w/ the US killing Osama Bin Laden. He just disagrees with the initial reasoning behind the war in Afghanistan. Watch Lupe Fiasco and Bill O’Reilly as they battle it out on live television about the real reason behind US military being in Afghanistan.

What do you think of Lupe’s argument(s)?

    Lupe made some valid points. The US Government by definiton is a ‘TERRORIST’ Nation…just look the word up. America only cares about one thing, that is preserving the way of life of the rich at any cost. America is the most ‘OBDURATE’ nation on the face of the Earth. It has military bases all over the world in foreign lands as they occupy and invade 3rd world countries while murdering children and civilians alike to enforce their wicked agendas and political views. They go in and ravish these countries as the people live in constant fear by way of being in a war zone daily. We, who live in America, don`t have to fear the prospect of a bomb hitting our home as we try to live from day to day.

    Mothers in America don`t have to grasp their children tightly in a corner as bombs light up the night sky. Living in constant fear and terror has to be a hell of a way to live. We, in America, don`t have to worry about this because we`ve Never seen war or invaders on the shores of the so-called great United States….think about it.

    Peace, in the name of my ‘HERO’ Malcolm X

      I agree. Lupe made some good points, but I disagree that Obama is a terrorist. If anything, he is just the person put in the forfront. I don’t believe it is really him making all the decisions. I look up to Obama and am glad he is making REAL changes to the country, but people should NOT think the US government is as clear cut as they seem. This country has a history of being sneaky, corrupt and downright evil.

      Let’s be real. People in their own individual countries strike hate against one another. There are so many rebel organizations around the world that I cannot keep count. When you look at history, you have seen Africans killing Africans, Chinese killing Chinese, and Middle Easterns doing the same. So to say that it is the US that strikes fear in other countries is garbage. It is called foreign relations and protecting our way of life so that we don’t have to live like other countries. Yes I can agree that the US can be bullies in some of their actions, but at the end of the day…..I would not want to live anywhere else. “Malcolm X”, you have the same ability to stay or leave…or matter of fact do something about it if you don’t like it because America gives you that right!

      you can not agree with a countries policies and still live there. He does make valid points.Look at America’s history. Is it not riddled with terrorism?Only when it came back to our front door did it become an “issue”. And the only reason O defended Obama in the least is because Good ol American was attached to the “attack”. We enjoy all the benefits of the country and therefore view it through rose colored lenses. we should really wake up.On top of that, im currently in a mid eastern country (not military either) and what they tell you/show you isnt exactly as it is. Where I am is all good right now and has been all year.By the same token,they think there are no black people in America (shocking?no bc they dont show anything but white people).
      We listen to and celebrate these rappers/artists (shown by popularity and record sales) but someone with an intellectually contrived opinion (even though you dont agree) has to be all bad.Has everyone turned to Uncle Tom???

      @LISA & Eric

      Your comments are indicative of the “bully” mentality that America has. This is why America is going to receive the judgment that it will receive. If one has a very basic understanding of world dynamics, the planet is governed GLOBALLY, not just in one country. This means that the dominant power on earth will establish the policies across the earth and throughout all countries. To make a long story short, there is nowhere you can run. This is why (and again, even an idiot should be able to understand this) you have numerous countries experiencing the same economic issues concurrently. The planet is presided over by the World Bank, and the American army and NATO are the footsoldiers of the world bank. Fiasco did a decent job of explaining this by stating that Obama, and all the presidents before him, are “terrorists”. The blacks who were brought here as slaves were “terrorized”. The Native Americans who were wiped out were “terrorized”. Aristotle stated that “you are what you repeatedly do”. If America constantly “terrorizes”, then it is a “terrorist” entity.

      @B-EAZY

      Lol, you contradicted yourself throughout your nonsensical post. Question, how can the U.S. be “bullies in some of their actions”, as you claim, if they do not “strike fear” in other nations? If you cannot instill fear, you cannot bully. The conundrum that the people who control America are in is that the masses of the American people are idiots and feel the need to believe that they are on the side of good in worldwide conflicts. Therefore the rulers of this country must concoct a reason to do what they need to do, which is reap natural resources from minerally rich countries in order to jumpstart their spiralling economy. That is all the military is for. The least of America’s worries is being “attacked” lol. In addition to that, America and NATO must force these other countries into either accepting western way of life, or being destroyed.

      Should he make a sign and march around the White House you idiot lol? Barack Obama is a terrorist. He lied and stated that he would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because his handlers had to make him the “anti-Bush” in his run for the presidency. Obama not only has not stopped the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was the one who instigated the bombings of Pakistan. Fortunately for the elite, they have guaranteed through Obama’s election that idiotic blacks will co-sign the maintaining of America.

You are literally programmed what/how to think and what/how to rebel, so that you can be controlled. The use of picketing and marching as a mode of rebellion was concocted by those in power to give the masses a method of “revolution” that is more like a child throwing a tantrum than actual revolution.

    It’s sad to see a African American like Lupe slander Obama. Obama is not perfect but where was Lupe when Bush was in office. He is only trying to sell records and by making such a strong statment only givs into the myth of African Americans dont care for one another, Lupe never pointed out any facts just his own thoughts. To go around misleading are youth is a shame to me. Using Obama as the front leader of him saying all Presidents in the past and future are terrorist is wrong. I feel sorry for this dude. We all have opinions but when you are in the public eye, think twice about what you say and what you stand for. Most importantly get your facts correct before you make yourself look like a complete idiot and not to mention a Black idiot at that. Makes are black people seem ignorant and hostile to those who are unfamiliar to the African American culture. We have to be smarter than that!

      I think the point was WHY did he have to produce his birth certificate to you for you to believe? Do you REALLY think that no one had vetted him beforehand — Like if they could have stopped a black man from running on such a simple technicality they wouldn’t have? I think that that was what was so absurd/obvious — IMHO

    • deontaer

      @MON – Please don’t be an idiot. First, I would love to see you procure any type of government document in 30 minutes! Second, Obama didn’t need to produce his birth certificate and he never should have. Anyone who runs for the presidency has be be VETTED before they can run…do you really think a complete background check wasn’t already completed by the government before hand? Further, why was no other president EVER asked to produce his birth certificate? We have immigrants from all over this world living in this country. Who’s to say any of those presidents weren’t immigrants from Poland, Germany and any other European nation when they ran for president? Never in history has any sitting president been asked to “produce his papers”.

      But I also think some of the comments on here that are slandering Lupe are stupid. The man is voicing his opinion, if you disagree then you disagree. The problem with our society (I am American) is that we don’t understand how to value other peoples opinion. We expect all certain “groups” of people to think and act alike. He is wrong for having an opinion? I mean damn..

      This may go over most people’s heads, but O’Reilly and Fiasco were having a mock debate. Fiasco is down with the program. Many of these recording artists are “in the know”, and are proponents of population control so that the promotion of witchcraft can be established as the official world religion. To make a long story short, O’Reilly’s job is to play the contrarian i.e. the “devil’s advocate”, and enhance Fiasco’s status as “anti-establishment”. This is, in my estimation, why Fiasco sported the Mos Def t-shirt. Mos Def is where Fiasco would like to be, and he (along with Common) is the matrix for so-called “conscious rappers” who were able to crossover into the movie industry. Mos Def was another rapper who went on television (I believe it was Bill Maher’s show) and stated his belief that 9/11 was an “inside job”. People MUST UNDERSTAND that these rappers are ACTORS, and these “interviews” are auditions.

    I agree with those who say that Lupe has a valid point because he does. He is a true hip hop artist with a message unlike some of his co-horts. On a broader scale, our people of color especially need to wake up and realize what “dream” we’re actually living. As for some of you who ask “why do you remain in America?” There are many of us who have left and are leaving. Please don’t let them continue to turn you away from you homeland because Mother Africa is the wealthiest continent on the planet but we being bamboozled into not knowing our true potential. Bill O’Reilly is a joke when he said that Lupe’s ‘followers’ don’t have PhDs. Did he take a poll and I wasn’t included? America only gives the truth that makes them seem like the good guys but meanwhile America is not better than the “terrorist” we fight daily.

    Bottomline: wake up people!

    I see what he is saying but I think he is an idiot for the way he said it. With all the crap going on and people who are always waiting and looking for something to bash Obama for. Instead of initially saying what he meant by saying all presidents he singled out Obama. You have to realize most people aren’t deep thinkers and are not going to look into it they way you are. They are just going to take it and run with it. What makes him seem like even more of an idiot to me is that the war he brought up isn’t Obama’s war, it was Bush’s. I never thought I would see the day I was more on Bill O’Reilly’s side. I have always been a Lupe fan, I was real disappointed when I heard this then heard the interview.

    It’s not about him criticizing the president, if you are please refer to the things that actually are his fault instead of being like all these other misimformed people blaming him for things that happened before he even got in office….

    • Yeah

      Yeah I agree with you @Lemaracqt7, if he was trying to target all the presidents why did he feel the need to draw attention to Obama? He stated in the video he thinks all American Presidents are terrorist, so to me him calling Obama a terrorist is just to ruffle feathers. It’s okay to criticize, but it’s how you do it. Why go on a network who constantly bashes the President and present this. Why not put your discussions on a platform that will at least promote healthy discussions and actually address the issue?? Why present this material, but we never see you in Washington or anything past you promoting your music? He knew this discussion between him and O’reilly would not go anywhere!! On a side note, he should of wore something professional. When you are coming to the table, present yourself better. Honestly a suit is not too much to ask. I understand he’s trying to break stereotypes, but sometime appearance is very important to a persons credibility. I like Lupe, but if he is approaching a political stand point like this it will be hard for me to take him serious.

    HEY

    Lupe has the right to say whatever he feels, but I disagree with how he is trying to prove his point. Obama is not a terrorist, he is the president of the united states who is trying to protect us. I hate when people think that Obama is suppose to snap his fucking finger and it’s suppose to all go away. Remember the asswhole who ran before him, not only does he have to clean the mess that Bush made, but he also has to clean the mess that is presently happening in the world. I may not agree with Obama all the time, but I do believe that his intentions are good and to say that he is a terrorist is one of the most rediculous statements I’ve ever heard. Remember Obama is not the one who brought us into the war in Afghanistan. Second of all, if Lupe thinks that America is such a terrorist country, which I don’t completely disagree with, I want him to try his hand at being the president of United States.

    First of all Let me just say I am serving on active duty and have been for the past 19 years most Americans like Lupe have no clue what we really defend this country against. Trust and believe we have two options find those and eliminate those who plot and plan or face them bringing acts of war and destruction in greater incidents that would make 9/11 look like a joke. We are despised by people who know nothing other than we will stand for whats right and for that they train, plot and scheme on how to kill us US Americans! It doesnt matter the color, creed or religion just that you were born or believe in certain principles, like freedom and equality. Lupe should stick to music and leave the politics to those who truly know the deal, because unless you have been in a combat zone and see them stoop as low as to use there own children to try and kill us then you have no clue. Americans are so fickle minded and believe everything our media produces. Get your head out the clouds Lupe the only reason you can wake up and freely do your music, speak on Bill O’Reilly with your have supported thoughts is because you have people willing to put it on the line everyday to keep it that way!!

    AND SPEAKING OF TERRORISTS WHAT ABOUT THE KLU KLUX KLAN THAT WAS ALLOWED TO OPERATE RIGHT HERE IN THE GOOD OLE US OF A AND HANG, KILL AND BEAT BLACK PEOPLE FOR OVER A DECADE? ISN’T THAT TERRORISM? WHAT ABOUT THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO SHOOT UNARMED BLACK MEN A ZILLION TIMES FOR LITTLE OF NOTHING? YOU CAN ALSO ADD THE LAPD IN THAT AS WELL UNDER DARRELL GATES. AND NOW WE HAVE OUR OWN SET OF TERRORISM RIGHT HERE WITH ALL THE GANGS KILLING PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THE US KNOWS ABOUT TERRORISM AND FEAR TACTICS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON A LONG, LONG TIME THROUGH HISTORY. AND WHO KILLED KENNEDY, MALCOM X, MARTIN LUTHER KING AND OTHERS – THEY SURE TERRORIZED BLACK SLAVES AND THE AMERICAN INDIAN. EUROPEANS CAME TO THIS COUNTRY AND TERRORIZED EVERYBODY OVER HERE, STOLE THEIR LAND, TOOK THEIR RESOURCES AND GOT RICH OFF OF THE LABOR OF OTHERS. THIS IS THE LIFESTYLE THEY FIGHT TO MAINTAIN. JUST KEEPING IT REAL HERE.

    The only thing good about this is that at least you can’t say that LP is apathetic! So many us are not even *aware*, much less *involved*.

    Unfortunately, politics IS complicated. These folk got politics on LOCK! We need to dust off those “civic” textbooks and step up our political game. Otherwise, we’re just bringing a knife to a gunfight. Hell, we don’t even have a knife! They don’t even consider us as a threat to take seriously politically. We are a non-MF-factor!

    AND don’t sleep on those LOCAL elections. It ain’t all about the general/presidential elections. The winners of your local elections affect your DAY-2-DAY life… for sure!

    Peace

    I like Lupe, and I agree with him and Judah as well!

    And Lupe’s video for “Words I Never Said” is pretty dope. Had not idea he released that song!

    I’m glad he’s awake! We need more popular hiphop artists like him to speak truth on the global scene.

    just because you do that hand gesture and pause and say “right” doesn’t make what you say relevant. he sounds, looks and is stupid.

    you can see him on bullshit.org

    Presentation people. Presentation. Research and presentation. His point may be valid but it’s his opinion in which he’s entitled to but it’s not factual. And he made himself look an ass.

    If a blackman were to bomb a meeting held by ku klux klan members he would be called a terrorist by every american on the face of planet earth,but you mean to tell me that a nation (america) that has killed 80 million native americans and enslaved millions of people (black people) and has murderd 100 million black people isnt a terrorist organization Lol these simple minded negroes never cease to amaze me on how much they love a nation that dosent give a d*mn about them. Black people own 0% of the businesses in their communities so why are their so many hypocritical negroes on here asking questions like what are you doing to help america,NO N*GGA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ABSOLOTLY NOTHING BUT RUN YOUR D*MN MOUTH AND SUCK THE WHITE M*NS D*CK.
    As the brother judah explained THEIR IS NOWHERE YOU CAN RUN.America will be destroyed by Iran and Russia in the upcoming World war that will take place in the middle East.So good with the war on terror

    Politicians are liars. i think its silly that every time there is an election, that people actually believe the platforms and false-promises of these so-called “leaders”… and then feel betrayed after damage is done. Politicians are are all just trying to get elected of course they are going to say what they gotta say to appeal to the people, republicans or democrats alike. Whether Lupe is wrong or right or an asshole or beacon of light…. i dont really think anyone on here should judge b/c none of us are inside the whitehouse or more appropriately, the secret meetings of the worlds richest controllers… i think its dope that Lupe brings this to the surface and it gets people talking, questioning. i think thats all he is really trying to do, so i say good job at causing a stir, maybe to sell records, sure, but either way attention needs to be brought to the lies and the backroom deals that are made by the people who run the country and the world. and guess what? barack isnt one of them. hes a frontman. hes a puppet. and yall buy into the show.

      But what is the truth? I actually understand where Lupe is coming from. He has full rights to his opinions regardless if he votes or not. BUT he knows just about as much as some of us do..based on some of these comments. I’ve yet to read any facts..just opinions and conspiracy theories. I think it’s sad that he even came on the O’reilly factor. The station is completely biased and just used him to push some more of their bs propaganda.

      @ANGELA

      You asked what is the truth, and then you state that you’ve seen nothing but conspiracy theories lol? Contradictory statements like that are indicative of the buffoonery of morons like yourself. If you do not know what the truth is, then you cannot state what a “conspiracy theory” is as opposed to factual statements. Americans are by far the dumbest people on the earth, and they prove it every time they speak. There is no such thing as an “unbiased” station. People are not unbiased. You are not unbiased. People believe either what they are taught or what they prefer. Contrary to what many black people may grasp, the vast majority of white Americans (America is a WHITE COUNTRY) agree with the programming on FOX News.

    Dumb Negrp Tryin to appear to be smart when in actuality he doesn’t know what the fu*k he’s talking about, just trying to sell an album. He should be happy someone black and far more intelligent than him is President. Just another dumb nigga. What he fail to realize is the people he was speaking to were the people who chose him.

    O’Reily is filled with an evil spirit-but so is Obama. No man of God can keep young soldiers in a fight that has nothing to do with saving lives, but making money off of oil, poppy fields and enslaving a people.
